Lightroom 3.4 Bugs – Fixed

Lightroom encountered issues presenting double-byte character metadata after the image was edited on Photoshop.com

Video files were allowed to be added to a SmugMug publish collection not capable of supporting video uploads

The up and down arrow keys did not work properly when trying to adjust a point tone curve with the Targeted Adjustment Tool

In a Flickr publish collection an error would occur when attempting to republish an image marked as “Hide from Public areas”

Images rotated once in a publish collection could have displayed inconsistent rotations between the grid view and the filmstrip (Windows only)

Mouse movements when a secondary window had been enabled would cause unnecessary processor activity

The SmugMug Smart Publish Collection dialog on a 1024×768 display could have closed without warning and prevented access to the main Lightroom window

Keyword completion was broken when spaces were included

Multiple Facebook publishing errors have been corrected in Lightroom 3.4

Publish collections did not work properly if the sort order is set to descending. (“Z to A”)

Cropped images could have momentarily appeared without a crop while moving from image to image in the Develop module

Image counts were not updating properly when nested collection sets were separated

If image files were located on an unavailable network volume, it might have taken several minutes for Lightroom to properly display the thumbnails in the grid view (Windows only)

Using the up/down arrow keys or the mouse wheel to adjust a parameter while the graduated filter is activated caused increments of plus or minus 100 instead of 1

Interlacing artifacts, and a slight magenta cast in the deepest shadows could have appeared on some high-contrast edges of Canon mRaw files.

Video files captured by an Apple iPhone and imported into Lightroom showed the incorrect capture date of December 31, 1903

In some instances, photos labeled as “Modified Photos to Re-Publish” in a Publish Collection would fail to be re-categorized as “Published” after a succesfull publish operation

A magenta color cast could have appeared on Nikon D7000 or Pentax K-5 images if the multi-exposure feature was used with raw capture

Updates have been made to Lightroom 3.4 to comply with Metadata Working Group standards

An image at zoom level “1:2” may have momentarily blurred when the mouse is released from a slider (Windows only)

Folder creation caused an expanded folder hierarchy to close unexpectedly in the Library Module

Virtual Copies added to a Publish to Hard Drive collection could fail to export properly if the original image had already been published

Updating the metadata of a file by selecting the update button in the Metadata panel would fail to update the metadata

A Japanese language file name is not properly preserved when uploading images to SmugMug

Color Noise reduction values were not properly saved in presets

Not all appropriate metadata fields were excluded when choosing the Minimize Embedded Metadata export option

The Lightroom Plug-in Manager may not have displayed correctly when operating Lightroom with the French language selected

Lens profiles can now be created for cameras that already have inherent lens profile correction applied to the raw file. This allows the application of additional or relative lens profile correction to micro four-thirds cameras or compact cameras such as the Canon S90 or Panasonic LX3

The camera and lens names are now required metadata fields

The checkerboard print dimension can now be entered in metric units (cm, mm, inches, points)

Fixes a bug where the image previews could show blank for some DNG files
